spend your money wisely<\/strong><\/p>\n

these days of
\nmisery<\/p>\n

endless clouds
\nendless rain<\/p>\n

the distant memory
\nof the last woman
\nyou ever loved<\/p>\n

a cold goodbye<\/p>\n

another empty
\nbottle for the
\ntrash<\/p>\n

a frantic
\nre-tracing
\nof steps<\/p>\n

you should’ve
\ndone this or that
\nand eventually
\nyou’ll realize
\nyou never had
\na chance<\/p>\n

true love never
\ngets around to
\nsomeone like
\nyou<\/p>\n

a buddy tried
\nto explain this
\nto you while
\nordering you
\na lap dance at
\nthe local strip
\nclub<\/p>\n

some of us just
\nhave to pay for
\nit<\/p>\n

 
\nthe capacity to bleed<\/strong><\/p>\n

come down from your
\ncross and tell me you
\nlove me<\/p>\n

tell me you are sorry
\ntell me it’s all going
\nto change for the
\nbetter one day<\/p>\n

lie to me<\/p>\n

tell me i’m beautiful
\na genius
\na broken soul you
\nneed to put together
\nagain<\/p>\n

praise me and bless me
\nand then do it again<\/p>\n

insert the sharp end
\nof your sword right
\nbelow my heart<\/p>\n

see if i still have the
\ncapacity to bleed<\/p>\n

to feel<\/p>\n

anything<\/p>\n

anymore<\/p>\n

the joy of being dead
\ninside is you can go
\nyears without watching
\nthe evening news and
\nfeel like you’ve never
\nmissed a thing<\/p>\n

the trick is learning
\nhow to do that when
\nyou’re alive<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the reality of knowing<\/strong><\/p>\n

scribble down
\nsome words and
\nkeep pretending
\nyou are a madman
\nwith heart<\/p>\n

no one cares<\/p>\n

you’ll never be what
\nyour grandmother
\nwanted you to be<\/p>\n

hell, you’ll never be
\nas low as your father
\npredicted<\/p>\n

but that burning pit
\nin your stomach?<\/p>\n

that’s the reality of
\nknowing average is
\nthe worst thing you
\ncan be in this world<\/p>\n

average is death<\/p>\n

average is a prison
\nsentence<\/p>\n

average is yet
\nanother poem
\nabout the beautiful
\nwoman you are too
\nscared to approach<\/p>\n

the world has no time
\nfor the average<\/p>\n

one day you’ll figure
\nthis out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
